Extreme Sports/ Extreme Adjectives

 Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a lesson plan to talk about extreme sports and apply gradable and extreme adjectives and relative clauses. It's designed for B2 students or above.

I am trying to catch up with all the requests I have gotten in the last weeks. Google has changed its policies regarding sharing content and for the many messages I am getting, I understand that you are not being able to access the content. As I work out a way to make sure everyone can access all the content available in the blog, I will be granting you permission ASAP. It's great to see many people use the materials anyway, silver lining. 

 

I take advantage of this post to let you know that tomorrow I will be presenting at the re-evolution 2.0 convention.

Stay tuned,

Claudio

I wish I could have someone write this post :)

Hi everyone, 

It's been great to hear from you on LinkedIn, by mail, and other platforms! Thank you so much for the feedback and your nice words. I encourage you to leave your comments here as well, that way we can all profit from your reflections and ideas. 

After teaching for some years, I've noticed that students (at least mine) sometimes find it hard to understand the form, use, and meaning of causative verbs. That's why I decided to create a lesson plan to try to tackle the 3 of them.  

 

What do you think?

Stay tuned,

Claudio

Gerunds and infinitives

 Hi everyone!

Today I am sharing a new version of one of my most popular activities: the assessment of gerunds and infinitives through songs. I look forward to having a third version, that's why I await your recommendations! I want to thank my student Celeste Giraudo for her help in the making of this one.

 Look forward to seeing you there!

The future looks good

Hi everyone,

It's been a whiiiiiile but it's my pleasure to say that I am back! The future looks uncertain and challenging rather than good and that's why I wanted to start sharing again. I believe that more than ever we need to enrich our practices by sharing and collaborating. Due to this, I will juggle work, training, studying and my two babies to try to make my contribution :). 

I sure hope this re-birth of the blog is a lot more collaborative and not as one-sided as it has been in the past; I want to hear your voices as well. Without further comments, here's the first post of 2021. In this lesson, we will introduce future tenses, attach the different purposes to each structure and try to find a meaningful production for students to apply what we have covered. This is meant to be used with B2 students. I hope you like it.

Here you have the videos:

How would you close this lesson in a meaningful way for your students?

I await your comments.
